Maiden Voyage

My wife and I finally managed to take our 8 foot Jon boat out for its maiden voyage. It's been a long time coming, so we dug out a couple hours on Sunday to head out to a local pond. The weather was overcase, upper 70s, with a slight breeze. The water there is incredibly murky and seems very shallow.

We spent around 90 minutes fishing our way down the bank, me throwing a black and blue Yum Dinger, and my wife fishing for sunnies with a worm and bopper. She was hauling in a lot of little dinks, while I managed to lose a smallish bass before landing a 12" keeper. The first bass out of our own boat!

Shortly after, my wife hooks into a fish off some pads that is putting her light rod and reel to the test. After a nice tussle, she boats her first bass ever!

Before heading back in, I manage a couple more keepers on the Dinger, not bad for the first outing at a new place. Whether it's worth visiting on a regular basis remains to be seen, the shallow and highly murky water doesn't look ideal and holds a lot of useless pond weed.
